Directions & Trail: HIgh Knoll park in Surrey on Colebrook Rd. I parked in the North entrance and crossed the road and took the South trail. Following the trail up I stayed left. The trail splits in many directions and I wanted to make sure I didn't do too many twists and turns to prevent me from getting lost. This trail took me out to a big open path where on left side are many bushes. On the way back I took some of the side trails which lead me to houses. Once finished I crossed the road and took South path which winded it's way along to a big opened forested area. I really liked this park as I noticed all the people I met had their dogs on leash. It is written that the park is 1.5 km's/minimal elevation but I feel it's much farther if you add all the other trails on. Happy & safe trail walking.
"The walk is 1.5 kilometres long and takes about 30 minutes. Please note: during the rainy season, the entire area north of the Nicomekl bridge becomes inaccessible due to flooding. In the northern section of the park, you will find a meadow and seasonal swamp where ducks and swallows gather next to the Nicomekl River. It's a great spot for bird watching! In the southern section lies an undisturbed wooded area, one of the few places in the Lower Mainland where the endangered White Fawn Lily blooms in spring. If you're lucky enough to find its delicate white or pink flowers, please don't pick them - they are becoming increasingly rare in the park." Surrey Parks
